I, June 21.— Should Deputy Sheriff Rogers fail to serve Louis Disbrow with a subpoena to appear before Coroner Nugent District-Attorney Livingston Smith intimates he will place all the facts which he has gathered in connection with the drowning of “Dimple” Law- rence and Clarence Foster before the Suffolk County Grand Jury. Disbrow will be given an opportun- ity to appear before that body if he chooses, but his attendance will not be forced, as he can refuse if he wishes to answer questions on the ground that he might incriminate himself. It {s not usual to place a murder in- vestigation before a Grand Jury until the suspected person is arraigned for preliminary hearing before a com- mitting magistrate, but District-At- torney Smith, seeing that Disbrow's lawyer is pursuing the same tactles as were so successfully employed in Florence Burns's case, has determined to circumvent it oy laying the case before the Grand Jury and letting that body establish whether a crime is to be placed on trial for it.
